'Big Brother' Season 22: Nicole breaks down crying after voting for Ian, fans call her 'emotionally manipulative'

Ian Terry is evicted in the latest episode and fans are over Nicole Franzel crying over it as she took part in throwing him out of the game

'Big Brother' Season 22 has seen a number of strong contestants pack their bags and leave the show. In the latest episode (September 17), Ian Terry and Tyler Crispen had one last chance to convince the houseguests to keep them on the show. While Ian had to struggle to get people on his side, Tyler did not have to do any hard work. 

Luckily for him, his alliance was behind him. Fans have been vocal about being unhappy with the way the game is being played out. With one alliance dominating the game, it is almost like they know who would walk out next. Yet again, it did not come as a surprise that Ian was the one who got evicted from the house.

With Tyler having the support of Christmas Abbott, Cody Calafiore, Memphis Garrett and Enzo Palumbo, there was no surprise that Ian was the one who had to walk out. While everyone in his alliance had their mind set on saving him, one person who had favored Ian was Nicole Franzel. Nicole was vocal about saving Ian as she stated they have been good friends ever since the show started. The pair had spent a lot of time talking to each other and according to her, they were able to form a bond. Seeing how the chances of Ian going out were more, she broke down crying.

However, fans were not convinced. They pointed out how previously Nicole did not speak up when Dani was talking about throwing Ian off the game. They were quick to add that Nicole broke down crying in front of Ian but showed a different side to the viewers. At the same time, fans were not happy how the edits made on the show portrayed Nicole in a good light. 

With the live feeds painting a different picture, fans stated that they are over her crying. They even took to social media to express their thoughts on the incident as one wrote, "Nicole really put on those fake tears just to vote out Ian and went into the living room as nothing happened. She is emotionally manipulative and it's sickening to watch."

Another wrote, "Yeahhh. I’m sorry Nicole’s tears seem so fake. It’s all because she knows we know how she & the others talked about Ian. This might be the first #BigBrother season I just stop watching."

"I have no sympathy for Nicole F. who's out there acting like she is devastated that Ian was evicted. Where was that empathy when everyone was mocking him and she was right there stirring things too by laughing. Kick the fake tears to the curb. You ain't loyal," read another. 

"Here’s Nicole planning what she’s gonna say so she doesn’t look bad to the audience..she planned to fake cry in order to make herself look like the victim. all while she was laughing n lying to Ian behind his back. you’re not seeing heaven, Nicole," read another comment.

'Big Brother' Season 22 airs on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm ET on CBS.
